The Evil Dead

The Evil Dead (1982) was filmed in the late ’70s/early ’80s, mostly on the outskirts of the small rural town of Morristown, Tennessee. When I travelled to the location in March of 2003, the area was still mostly farmland, though it had become semi-rural in the twenty-odd years since Sam Raimi and friends filmed their little low-budget horror movie. Suburban homes surrounded what little remained of the woods where the movie was shot. And the cabin, well, unfortunately the cabin burnt down sometime in the ’80s, and all that remains is the fireplace and part of the chimney.
